  1. push/pull it back through to show the threads.if the SPLINES are ok that is.the splines are what actuate the hub to move.if those are stripped you may need a new hub, and or axle. cheers, b
  2. obx, godspeed have them....
  3. with slightly smaller tires , and swaybars this thing would be ************ing crazy.... i may put the sawybars back on and add some disconnects. i'm still trying to decide if i want to lift it a skosh more or trim more....cheers, b
  4. yeah, i almost goit hit by a bus yesterday.i was wondering.... kidding, this thing gets some looks for sure. cheers, b
  5. you need a better description of what you are talking about.maybe a pic would help......
  6. that WAS a brand new module...........i'd look at the rotor and cap...unless you replaced that already of course.anyways.keep on truckin. chers, b
  7. now thats just called, pay the ************ attention....
  8. mine is about that big.i used 07 forester struts.i lowered the engine crossmember with the stock outback blocks, but probably did nto need to. i kept the forester struttop in the rear.you could do either really.i just had a hobbit handfile the holes for me.it was kinda expensive in beer, but whatever. the rear is kinda lacking for me , but i am pretty sure some saggy rump roast spacers would take care of it... cheers, b
  9. welp, i new i had more to do to the rear fenders to get them where i want them.so, i jumped some railroad tracks today to find THE spot that was rubbing. i found it:grin:.. i say jumped, it was more like dropping in a big pothole, hitting the track, bouncing off of it and coming down hard, sideways-ish. it is obviously something you slow down for usually.. but other than the tire chunking, yes i chunked it.straight cosmetic .doonk, doonk, doonk,doonk, all the way home:lol: i was glad to find out it was rubber. i think i may actually put swaybars back on.then make disconnects.i gotta measure the swaybars i pulled off.and make a mounting surface on the links. but , all in all i would say succeessful. the struts have settled out about now.so i think i can actually get this thing into shape to go fast, AND deep. cheers, b
  10. so, every damn thing that could be bent on the rear end was.therefore no adjustment was gonna take care of it. so i rednecked some stuff had to cut some stuff. ..that super long god damn bolt sucks...... bent ************........... take all of it out.replace with MOAR.... how she was last night after the hellday that is rust.......************ rust. complete adjustability......priceless... the bed camber/toe issues, are obviously taken care of.bent something or other.whatever the hell it really was is beyond me.so i fixed the problem. a cheers, b mad thanks to Mugs, and Bacc for the help and photos....
  11. monstaru

    lifted shocks

    basic math.then pound the pavement like everyone else. can you do ANYTHING yourself? jeff extended his with tubing, Jarod used extensions as well if i remember correctly...... all of this info is here.or not . which means you have to figure it out. do you know what ride height you want?have you figured out max compression?etc... do the math, like everyone else.
  12. bennie, i simply do not have the means to weld the shafts.otherwise i would go that route. the diff lock would be sweet, but i have never had it before , so i don't know what i am missing:lol: if i WAS gonna weld some pinions i would just go for the $.$$'s.. anyways,it was more of a rhetorical question by the time i had even gotten done typing it.i have wanted better final drive ratio for an offroad application for a while...so 4.11's it is.... unless , some 4.44's just dropped in my lap out of thin air....then i would SERIOUSLY consider it. thanks for the pics.just out of curiousity do you have the specs of the welding equipment and process they went through to do the pinions? cheers, b
  13. slow down speed racer, there is an arguement to whether or not this is a LIFT.....i could care less. he has some good things to say as well. cheers, b
  14. i brazed new outlet/inlet pieces onto a a stock ea81 radiator......it was not super fancy, but did not leak. cheers, b
  15. wow, i was pissed at that last night......... just the trailing arm wil help a bunch.and i have been wheeling for years man.not just in subaru's.i know the ins and outs.this isn't my first rodeo. i have yet to cut the pipe for the fronts, already have the back fingered out. its all about time... cheers, b
  16. release the spring on your hill holder and see if it helps.spray it down with some brake clean and actuate it back and forth to get it lose.i have disabled several of these on the older rigs and never gone back.....cheers, b
  17. in all of the ones i have come across, i have not noticed a difference.some had a stiffener on top, and some did not.(kinda like a welded on piece of rod....) whatcha up to? i once had a brat with a tow hitch on the back that was bolted through el mustacho....don't know how much that helped:lol:..cheers, b
  18. thats just my staple :)i enjoy,have helped brew, and continually excercise my right as a rogue citizen to taste all beers equally . and enjoy them to their fullest extent.except if they suck :)cheers, b
  19. still gathering parts...and trying to make room.have half of the front axle done, and am wating ion the new rear axle i traded for, with the gears, and then i will have motivation to try an get her on her feet. cheers, b
  20. well, at least you know your roll ever point is higher, which means you should not be afraid to drive it a little harder now:grin:.or at least at crazy angles...cheers, b
  21. nice......very nice this should be awesome. remember, the timing i dialed in on was about 18 degrees. so start there... cheers, b
  22. yes, he is an artist.i always liked that a bout that guy.....nice work man.cheers, b
  23. OK<OK...sorry we could not do anything today.it is still snowing outside, and i am a beat piece of meat .and i only hikedd 5 miles today with gear.half of it in hip waders.but i am mostly sore from doing THIS all weekend....... cheers, b:grin:
  24. all i can say is wow..... with simply 07 forester struts, and 235's ..it compares to Lilly on 6" and 235's. she looks good.i'll see what i can do about some better pics tomorrow. but you get the point. cheers, b
